Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An example of a nucleic acid would be ____
A
Fructose
B
Wax
C
DNA
D
Steroid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two examples of nucleic acids include deoxyribonucleic acid (better known as DNA) and ribonucleic acid (better known as RNA). These molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides held together by covalent bonds. Nucleic acids can be found within the nucleus and cytoplasm of our cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information which is read in cells to make the RNA and proteins by which living things function. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic Acids Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins. A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that play multiple cellular roles, including protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each nucleotide in DNA contains one of four possible nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Adenine and guanine are purines, meaning that their structures contain two fused carbon-nitrogen rings.

Detailed explanation-5: -deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ribonucleic acid (RNA) messenger RNA (mRNA) transfer RNA (tRNA)
